Access Has “SET”, Recommends Not Using It

This is an interesting read — it would be awesome if MySQL just used the “SET” or “ENUM” data types to be a placeholder for a join table, that it would create automatically for you. Of course, that’s a new level of functionality — MySQL does not implicitly create permanent tables with any commands. But it would be neat.
